Once in a Blue Moon

I think that the new year will be a good one.  The auspicious occasion of a rare blue moon must be a positive portent for good things to come.

Doing a little research, it appears that about every three years or so, we get two full moons in one lunar month.  Even rarer still is a blue moon at the New Year - last seen twenty years ago.

Here are some pictures of a beautiful, bright blue moon over Doha:

This is the moon over Souq Waqif - still my favourite place to haunt.

 

This is the moon over the mosque in our compound at Ain Khalid Gate.

I have a good feeling....
